Materialise, the Belgian-based 3D printing service company, announces today the official launch of a new, highly flexible and durable material for 3D Printing: TPU 92A-1.

TPU 92A-1 is specially developed for designers and engineers who are looking for a flexible 3D Printing material that is durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of an end-use product.

One of the most notable client of this material was Dutch fashion designer and guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, Iris van Herpen, who is known for pushing the boundaries of 3D Printing in the world of high fashion. In January this year, TPU 92A-1 made its debut on the catwalk during Iris van Herpen's Voltage Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week.
